Quotes 

• Jenna Wade : Aren't you interested in keeping your husband? We're not schoolgirls, Pam. We both know that men like Bobby don't grow on trees.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : I don't have to listen to you lecturing me on the virtues of my husband!

• J.R. Ewing : [finds Pamela unpacking her suitcase]  Couldn't wait to get back home?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : [resigned]  Hello, J.R.

  J.R. Ewing : Didn't you enjoy Harrison's company? He can be a real charmer when he wants to be. And I thought he'd done just about anything to please you.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Well, he is trying very hard to please somebody. What did you have to do with my getting that promotion?

  J.R. Ewing : What makes you think that I had anything to do with it?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Something that Harrison said this weekend. You made him send Liz Craig to Houston and give me her job, didn't you?

  J.R. Ewing : [smiles]  Oh, Pamela, you have an exaggerated view of my power. I merely pointed out your... your many talents to him, that's all.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Why?

  J.R. Ewing : Well, I thought you looked... unhappy. Thought you needed something to distract you.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Well, how very kind of you.

  J.R. Ewing : Well, I thought so. And now that Bobby's found something to distract him, everything's worked out just perfectly, didn't it?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Bobby?

  J.R. Ewing : Jenna Wade's back in town. Haven't you heard?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : [coolly continues unpacking her clothes]  If you're expecting hysteria, J.R., you're gonna be awfully disappointed. They're old friends. I don't see anything to be concerned about.

  J.R. Ewing : Then you don't know Jenna... or Bobby.

  [chuckles, leaves] 

• Bobby Ewing : Pam... last night... I almost slept with Jenna. I didn't. But I wanted to. Doesn't that matter to you? Does anything matter to you anymore?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : What stopped you?

  Bobby Ewing : I love you. And she knows it.

  [takes her by the shoulders] 

  Bobby Ewing : Pam, I want to save our marriage, but I can't do it by myself. Now, you've gotta help me.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : [tearfully]  Bobby... I don't think I can.
